The Work of Sabbath-School Teachers
THERE are no better workers for Christ and his cause than faithful and intelligent Sabbath-school teachers. They take their place alongside of the parent and the pastor, and in many cases do a better and more lasting work than either. Their work has the value of voluntary service, and is therefore apt to be appreciated in after years by those for whom it is performed; it is done usually at a period in young life when memory is tenacious, and affection sincere, and the heart tender, and the mind awake. Seeds of sacred knowledge, planted at such a time, in such a soil, are not often destined to that decay which means utter dissolution. They may lie dormant long, but there is a time for their development in the flower and fruitage of a good life.—Sel.
